LONDON, September 15.-As the pres
ent session of Parliament comes to an
end tomorrow, brief summary OF the
work done may not be without interest.
A summary of the legislative reforms
promised and not performed would per
haps be more instructive, but has to be
omitted owing to its great length. The
Queens speech in January last specified
fifteen measures, the passing OF which
was decided to be necessary to the
prosperity of the country. Out OF the
fifteen, six have passed and become
laws, viz. i: The Irish Crimes bill, The
Irish Land bill, The Allotment bill, by
which every laborer is to have his long
promised three acres and COW, II he
can pay for them, The three remaining
measures are peculiar to Scotland.
Nothing particular has been done for
England and everybody seems very glad
to have been let alone so severely. Ear
lament sat for thirty-three weeks, lost
by death five members, by elevation
and succession to the Peerage eight, and
twenty-five new members were intro
duced during the session.

the high school gets at least one cooking les
son a week, and the cooking teachers are
specialists. They give at each lesson a talk
on cooking, and illustrate this by showing
the pupils how the ingredients are TO be
mixed and how the cooking is to lie done.
Each cooking class consists Of fifteen schol-
ars- They have aprons and dresses for the
occasion, and they are not only taught how
to cook, but have to display their knowledge
OF cooking themselves. The first lesson given
relates 10 fire building and the management
of the stove, and after this they practice on
6olgh, making cookies, biscuit and bread I
dropped in upon the cooking class the other
day and found fifteen pretty girls in
long aprons seated around table. A
teacher stood at the head, and beside
her stood one of the prettiest of the fifteen
pretty girls. Her sleeves were rolled up
above the elbow, and her plump, round arms
shone out beautifully as she manipulated
lump of dough almost as big as a coal bucket
From time to timc the teacher pointed out
the scientific twists of the wrist which she
must use in kne',dinS, and after this the
baking process was fully explained. The
bread was put in the oven, and the Washing
ton high school has a kitchen big enough for
a hotel with range, hot and cold water and
lots Of pans and kettles. They keep the tins
shining, and each class has to wash the
dishes and scour the pewter before it leaves
the kitchen for the day

one of the oldest young men in public life.
He is as straight rs an Indian, as active as a

truth of the matter was that one of the titled

to write out a few rules of the game for her.
He did So. and she had them printed for pri-
